FLO'S FRENCH IMMERSION IN "LA FORET DES LANDES DE GASCOGNE"

Flo is a native French teacher, born and educated in France, fluent in English and Spanish. She used to manage a language school in Paris for many years. Recently she has retired after 15 years teaching French and Spanish both at Aylesbury College UK and giving private tuition in Solihull in UK .

She is an experienced teacher teaching Adults and also teenagers preparing for A Level. She believes the FULL IMMERSION scheme for only one or two persons at a time, is the best for improving language skills and strictly encourages students to stick to French language throughout their week in full immersion.

Her French language immersion course puts emphasis on oral communication : listening, understanding, speaking (pronunciation, liaisons, intonation). The content of the lessons varies to suit each individual's needs and level. Explanation of grammar points as well as introduction and practise of new vocabulary are a daily part of the courses.
